Cyberfangirl: when I met Paul, I was so nervous, I thought my heart would jump out of my breast.. And then it did!

Ever since I saw this, I've been wondering if "love them all" was an intentional pun.

I've seen this picture so many times on tumblr recently, and I don't know what this thing in Paul's hands is supposed to be, but I'm quite sure it's my brain.

It should be obligatory for every incarnation of the Doctor to have a photo shoot in a Time Lords' ceremonial robe.

There seems to be a correlation between the number of @johannesviii illustrations for a story and how much I will like this story. Correlation is not a strict law, of course (note the absence of Terror Firma in the previous part of the list; on the other hand, @johannesviii did draw C'rizz tearing a dalek apart ^^), but if for some reason I need to decide if I am going to listen to a particular episode, the very existence of Johannes' illustration is a 'pro' factor. What was interesting about "Lucie's era" is that it was not really Lucie's era - a refreshing divergence from the standard Doctor + companion scheme. And let's not forget that the Doctor spent most of the time within that period without any humans, on Orbis.

I am quite partial to even-numbered Doctors - isn't it odd? (Ba-dum-tsss))) It feels good confirming in my head that different faces of the Doctor are still the same person. There is a "Doctor neuron" in my brain (see "Jennifer Aniston neuron"), it should fire for every Doctor with every face. The first time I totally believed that it was the same person was when I watched Eight after Ten. The "Doctor neuron" fired at last :)) But multi-doctor stories with different Doctors meeting and talking to each other actually have an opposite effect. They interact with each other, and my brain refuses to see them as one. So, instead I sometimes do some silly stuff - like turning on two episodes with different Doctors on the same screen, seeing them both simultaneously. Deliberately training the "Doctor neuron".

p.s. 'Zagreus' was quite cool in not being a standard multi-Doctor story. I totally enjoyed this playing with personalities, and would love to see something like this for the 60th anniversary.

Is there a story where the Doctor lives normal life for an extended period of time?

I was thinking about a setup: for some reason (it could be a cat on the console or something) the TARDIS is sent 10 years to the future, and the Doctor and his companion(s) are left outside. For once, there are no monsters, no immediate or even potential danger. They were sightseeing, or visiting a museum or just chilling in a nice place. The TARDIS is not in danger too, they have not lost her - they know exactly when and where to find her. Here, in 10 years.

So the challenge is not to fight some evil forces, but to live a normal life. Maybe even get a job. A house with a carpet ))))

During this time the Doctor will go through different stages of frantic action, apathy, liking the domestic bliss, hating the slow-paced life, trying to fit in into the human society without the advantage of going back to the TARDIS, discovering the beauty of everyday life, realizing the futility of it etc etc. The approaching rendezvous with the TARDIS will find him and his companions in different states of minds. There probably will be no doubts on the Doctor's side, but the companions may not be so eager to get back to the crazy life again, when they have been quite happy with the Doctor here.

Of course, there should be a dramatic problem in the end. Say, when they finally pack and go to meet the TARDIS, they find out that the cat accidentally was turned into a soul-consuming monster, and they have to fight again or use the timer to send the TARDIS forward for another 10 years with the doors open to wash away the disruptive influence in the Vortex. So the Doctor is eager to fight but the companions may prefer the safer way. Or maybe vice versa, as he has more time than any human and can afford a prolonged holiday.
